Cinapse CEO Herman Phillips on Wrapbook’s On Production Podcast

In S1 Episode 53 of the On Production podcast by Wrapbook, our CEO, Herman Phillips, shared his journey from working in the Assistant Directors department on sets like The Mandalorian and Euphoria to launching Cinapse, a groundbreaking solution for modern film and television scheduling. With first-hand experience in the complexities of filmmaking, Herman saw an opportunity to replace outdated, manual workflows with a smarter, tech-driven approach—giving rise to Cinapse. Today, Cinapse helps streamline scheduling, collaboration, and coordination, empowering production teams to focus more on creativity and less on logistics.

During the conversation, Herman highlighted the core challenges the industry has faced for decades—fragmented communication, versioning issues, and manual scheduling processes—and explained how Cinapse addresses these issues with innovative tools. Features like offline mode, real-time collaboration, and episodic scheduling are already transforming workflows across productions, from Netflix series to indie films. And with exciting updates like “unit day breaks” newly launched and more features on the horizon, Cinapse is committed to delivering powerful, easy-to-use solutions. At Cinapse, we believe in making every second on set more productive, and we’re excited to keep driving change for filmmakers everywhere.
